Proposal for 5 hr live/interactive contact hours for Pharmacists
 

I would ask for a clear definition of real time interactive vs live.  I participate in some of the CDC train programs for Antimicrobial Stewardship.  These programs require responses to questions throughout the program, but is not "live".   Also, the NABP currently reports CPE activity as Live or Home Hours.  Will another category be added for real time interactive?  It would nice to have all CE programs identified as Live, Real Time Interactive, or Home based in the description of continuing education.  For example, when obtaining ACPE credit, the description could state "pharmacists will receive 0.25 CEU's of real time interactive pharmacy education.
